Beschreibung

Tablets are the most important and most common form of medicine worldwide. In the past few years scientific knowledge has emerged, which allows us to turn from the „art of tableting“ to a knowledge-based development and production of tablets.

The participants will be offered the basics of formulation development and the production of tablets. 

Zielsetzung

In small groups the internship is conducted under the supervision of experienced instructors on various production presses. Each participant will actively participate in trials for the production of tablets and various methods for their characterization. Typical approaches and solutions will be shown and subsequently discussed in detail. 

At the end of the course, the participants should have basic knowledge about the solution of tableting tasks.

The focus is on the natural sciences and engineering aspects of tableting. Regulatory aspects, such as cleaning or validation are not dealt with.

Dedicated lectures dealing with:

• Formulations
• Mechanical properties
• Compression and compaction theory
• Process induced transformations
• Minitablets
• Data acquisition
• Compaction simulators
• Predictability of tablet properties
• Technical concepts of tablet presses
